David Tennant's remake of Broadchurch has failed to lure audiences in America and it has been cancelled after just one season. The former Doctor Who star reprised his role as a detective on the hit U.K. crime drama for a U.S. version called Gracepoint, which premiered in October (14).
Breaking Bad actress Anna Gunn stepped into Olivia Colman's shoes as Tennant's partner, but despite the star power from the two leads, Gracepoint was unable to garner strong ratings throughout its run.
However, Tennant won't have to say goodbye to the character all together - he has reprised his role as Detective Alec Hardy for the U.K.'s second season of Broadchurch, which will be broadcast next year (15).

British actress Olivia Colman gave up using public transport while her hit crime drama Broadchurch was airing because fans constantly begged her to reveal the identity of the show's murderer. Colman, who starred in the TV show opposite David Tennant, admits the hype over the 'whodunnit' storyline drove her off buses and trains, and she would only take taxis until the run finished.
She tells Britain's Radar magazine, "I got to the point where I stopped going on trains and buses because everyone would ask who did it. Taxis were easier; then it was just one person asking it at the end of the journey."
The show returns for a second season, which is due to air in the U.K. in January (15). Tennant reprised his role as a detective in an American adaptation called Gracepoint opposite Breaking Bad's Anna Gunn.

This year will mark the tenth Doctor Who Christmas special since the series revival in 2005. It will also be the first special starring the Twelfth Doctor, Peter Capaldi. Every Christmas special is different; the episode can be cheesy or epic, heartwarming or heartbreaking. But two things are always certain: there will be aliens involved, and it will be very British. So get ready to pop open your Christmas cracker (it’s a UK thing) by checking out these top moments from past specials.

Tom Hiddleston, David Tennant, Gemma Arterton and Gillian Anderson have been lauded for their theatre acting after landing top nominations for Britain's WhatsOnStage Awards. Hiddleston's performance as Shakespeare's Coriolanus has scored the production six nods, including Best Actor in a Play for the Thor star, who will do battle with Tennant (Richard II), Mark Strong (A View From the Bridge), Richard Armitage (The Crucible) and Tom Bateman (Shakespeare in Love).
Castmembers Hadley Fraser, Mark Gatiss and Deborah Findlay have also earned recognition in the supporting categories, while Coriolanus is shortlisted for Best Play Revival, against Blithe Spirit, The Crucible, Richard II and A Streetcar Named Desire.
The Tennessee Williams production has also won acclaim for Anderson as Best Actress in a Play, pitting her against Billie Piper (Great Britain), Imelda Staunton (Good People), Helen McCrory (Medea) and Lucy Briggs-Owen (Shakespeare in Love).
Meanwhile, the musical categories are dominated by Miss Saigon and Memphis the Musical, boasting 12 and 10 nominations respectively.
Miss Saigon's Alistair Brammer and Jon Jon Briones are up for Best Actor in a Musical, alongside Memphis the Musical's Killian Donnelly, Marti Pellow from Evita and Robert Lindsay for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, while the female category features Miss Saigon's Eva Noblezada going up against Beverley Knight (Memphis the Musical) and former Bond girl Gemma Arterton (Made in Dagenham), among others.
The winners for the WhatsOnStage Awards, voted for by the public, will be announced at a ceremony in London on 15 February (15).

"I was in the shower at the gym once... you don't want to be approached by a naked person at any time, but especially when you're naked yourself, and they're holding nothing but a piece of paper and a pen. The whole thing was very peculiar. Of course I signed it! What else could I do!" Former Doctor Who David Tennant on his strangest fan encounter.

Actor James Mcavoy was given a warm hometown honour as he won the top acting prize at the 2014 BAFTA Scotland awards on Sunday (16Nov14). The Glasgow native picked up the Best Film Actor trophy for his performance as a corrupt policeman in the big screen adaptation of the Irvine Welsh book Filth, beating out Peter Mullan and Jack O'Connell.
After receiving the prize, McAvoy gushed over the important accolade to Scotland's Daily Record newspaper, and said, "It is always nice for an actor to get any award as any validation for the work that he does is useful for an actor.
"It's especially nice when that award comes from your own city, your own country and your own people and also the people for whom I made this film as well is a big deal."
Meanwhile, Philomena star Sophie Kennedy Clark was given the Best Film Actress prize, and former Doctor Who David Tennant picked up his first Scottish BAFTA for his role in The Escape Artist.
Prison crime drama Starred Up was the biggest winner of the night, landing three of its four nominations, including Best Feature Film, Best Film/Television for Director David Mackenzie and Best Film/Television Writer for Jonathan Asser.
The ceremony, which took place in Glasgow's Radisson Blu Hotel, celebrates the best of Scottish entertainment and talent.

New Doctor Who Peter Capaldi got some helpful tips on how to cope with the pressure of the iconic role from a very useful source - previous Time Lords Matt Smith and David Tennant. The Scottish actor, 56, took over from Smith, 31, in the hit sci-fi TV series last year (13) and his full debut as the time-travelling adventurer aired in the U.K. and U.S. last weekend (23-24Aug14).
He had previously told how landing the part was a childhood dream come true, but now he has confessed he was secretly terrified of taking on the role and received some wise words of advice from a previous and much younger incumbent.
Capaldi tells British newspaper The Sun, "I think I would have found this difficult when I was Matt's age. At that age, I was less assured as an actor than he is and not so in touch with my skills. I was watching him the other night in an old episode - he has such a magic and wisdom about him. And he's been a big help to me. Both he and David Tennant have been tremendously helpful."

New Doctor Who Peter Capaldi received a huge vote of confidence from U.S. fans of the sci-fi show on Thursday (14Aug14) when he attended a premiere event for the new season. The Scottish actor, who has taken over Time Lord duties from Matt Smith, joined co-star Jenna Coleman and writer Steven Moffat at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York, and thousands of eager fans were there to greet him.
Capaldi's official debut as the new Doctor, which will hit TV screens later this month (Aug14), became a hot ticket item when all 900 seats for the premiere screening sold out in less than one minute.
The actor, who posed for photos with fans on the Tardis-blue carpet, revealed how he prepared to play an iconic TV character, explaining, "Once I became the Doctor, I invited Matt to lunch to discuss the role and he arrived on crutches. I said, 'What happened to you?' and he said, 'The show, mate'."
He added, "Matt Smith and (former Doctor Who) David Tennant have both been very kind and helpful to me. I often talk to them and text them and ask for advice. It's a very small club, we talk about stuff that only doctors can talk about."
Capaldi made a brief appearance on the BBC's highest-rated series in November (14) as part of the show's 50th anniversary episode.
Capaldi and Coleman kicked off the first ever global Doctor Who tour earlier this month (Aug14) and they will also make stops in London, Seoul, Sydney, Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro to promote the show.
